Hi everyone! We are thrilled to have you back for Tez Talks Q&A, series 2 and welcome you to episode #5! Today’s episode is filled with more amazing questions and we have you guys to thank for that, our amazing YZL community! Your question contributions have guided this series to be so thought provoking and inspiring and Teresa loved reading through and answering them. We’re so grateful to you for tuning in, subscribing, leaving comments, sending emails and sharing your support for the series. We hope you love today’s episode just as much as the ones that have dropped so far!

In today’s episode, #5, Teresa answers the following questions;

– My question is about opening up, in regards to love. Whenever I find myself at the start of a blooming relationship I try to find excuses as to why it won’t work and shut them out. Any tips on how to let people in?

– Do you have any films / podcasts / programs you listen to or watch to help inspire you? I read a lot, as you do, but sometimes after a busy week I just don’t have the energy.

– How do you stay strong in who you are? With all the media, opinions & criticism out there, I find it easy to lose myself. Where do you find the strength to stop questioning everything that makes you who you are and stand tall? Any tips for what to do when you’re feeling unbalanced?

In this episode, Teresa talks about the challenge in allowing ourselves to put our trust into other individuals and shares why we have the tendency to shut ourselves off and protect our heart but it all comes down to leaning into the challenge, jump into it and open yourself up to that person and achieve tremendous self growth. Teresa talks about how our schedules and lives in general can be so full on and how important it is to carve time out for yourself, even if it is only 10 minutes to listen to a podcast as a source of inspiration and shares her favorite at the moment. Finally, she shares her view on being in the public eye and how at times it can be hard to avoid the noise. She shares her recent experience with a sensitive moment and what she realised from it and how this can apply to everyday life.
